Techtree questions

from GalCiv2 Forums
While modding the techtree, I have come across some...difficulties. The questions are:

1. Can I make one tech dependent on more than one tech? Ex. I want to make it so that Dynamic Shielding can only be researched once Barriers III and Subspace Rebounder are known.

2. Can I make a tech that can only be researched by a specific race?

3. Can I make for example, a tech that can be researched by evil or neutral but not good?

I'm sure I'll think of more later.

You can do it, but it won't work or display properly since the system is designed to expect only one prereq per tech.

2. Can I make a tech that can only be researched by a specific race?


Only in a roundabout manner. You would have to give a race a root tech to start which requires ImpossibleTech so it cannot be researched otherwise. Then make your race-sepcific tech require that one. It could still be stolen by/traded to other races, though.

3. Can I make for example, a tech that can be researched by evil or neutral but not good?


You might be able to add multiple <Alignment> tags and have it work that way, though I've not tested it myself.

Then I make these three recommendations to be added to Dark Avatar. 1 and 3 should be pretty easy, 2 might take some tweaking, but I think this would make things a bit better.
